《Saint Cecilia》的歌詞如下:

Cecilia was a musical maid,

Born to play the heavenly flageolet;

She taught the notes to run and glide,

And all the angels she could hymn and sing.

Chorus:

Oh Saint Cecilia, all hail the maid,

Whose music charms the skies above;

Oh let her name be ever blessed,

For music's sake, and praise of endless love.

She taught the notes to run and glide,

And sweetest tunes did sweetest die;

When music breathed from her soul unspent,

All nature loved and joined the choral flight.

Chorus:

Oh Saint Cecilia, all hail the maid,

Whose music charms the skies above;

Oh let her name be ever blessed,

For music's sake, and praise of endless love.

She taught the notes to run and glide,

And as she played, her spirit flew;

She taught the notes to charm the skies above,

And all the angels joined in sweet repose.

Chorus:

Oh Saint Cecilia, all hail the maid,

Whose music charms the skies above;

Oh let her name be ever blessed,

For music's sake, and praise of endless love.
